This is a much better video of Mr. Wallace sparring. He doesn't look like a bully in this video. It looks like light, friendly sparring, even though Mr. Wallace can get competitive and speed up his punching and kicking, but tried to keep it light. At one point, Mr. Wallace hit the other kid hard, and then apologized. I would be very nervous about sparring with Mr. Wallace and I bet this kid was nervous too. I have watched a few sparring videos of Mr. Wallace. It looks like he tries to keep it friendly, but he doesn't like getting challenged, and can get very competitive (almost angry) if he gets tagged. I would almost be afraid to even try to hit him, even at his age now, I don't think I would want to sparr with him.
The king of kickboxing. Bill only used his left leg and stuck to the basics (rarely spinning back, mostly side, front, and roundhouse)and remained unbeaten for 6 years. A true role model of how to conduct yourself. A gentleman !
Haha those fast mid-level side/roundkicks are Superfoots version of "boxing jab". He doesnt intend those as attacks. He intends those to set up attacks, Talks a lot about that in seminaars.
I've seen a couple of super foots sparring footage. You can tell he doesn't like getting challenged. He tries to keep a friendly attitude but he's Masking anger and he really tries to hit hard.
Yeah man grew up sparring old school guys from 70's and 80's PKA glory days. That's just how they are. What's funny is they start every spar with "let's go light..." 😏
Oh my god man...He is dangerous. he is absolutely deadly.. i feel that he never really fought with ill intent (for the most part) when he competed because if he did he'd put a guy in a coma. i would of been scared to .. superfoot is a freak of nature.
first of all your given the opportunity to spar with a legend , just throw techniques light your techniques, and use the opportunity to have him access what you do well and what you can improve,
The video description says it all what's wrong. "This was my second time meeting Bill, but my first time sparring with him. I was very nervous and tried not to throw anything too hard because I was worried he might hurt me if I connected with anything." Think about it. You are practicing full-contact karate but you are in so much of awe and respect and fear of one's presence that you do not dare to go full-contact even though you were practicing full-contact karate. How does that make the wallaces and other senseis feel about themselves? Invincible? That's right. Too much of respect results to a false sense of competence and soon enough they evolve to george dillmans.
I feel like that other guy was decent, and faired pretty well with the Super Foot at least in the beginning (even though it was supposed to be "friendly" sparring), but Mr Wallace did not like getting hit with the spinning hook kick and retaliated and taged him a few times. Mr. Wallace then apologized and said he would not hit him hard, but after that, the other guy became timid and was afraid to through the spinning hook kick or anything. Overall, it was a good sparring session, and most of it was light contact, even though some of the strikes were not slow, but it it does show that Mr. Wallace can get a little competitive when he is tagged, and the other guy became timid, witch doesn't make for an ideal sparring session. I have met Sensei Wallace at seminar a couple years ago. He is an interesting guy, and full of energy, and it's amazing what he can still do at his age. I did not spar with him, and I have to tell you, I don't think I would ever want to spar with him, even at his age right now, the man can still fight.
@@attiylanen I think I know what video you are talking about. Is it the video where they were only boxing? I happen to like that video, guilty pleasure, but it is disturbing. It's really hard to determine how much of it is Bill's fault or the other guys fault. We don't know for sure if the other guy was being a dick and got what he deserved (although, honestly I don't know if that would actually justify what Bill Wallace did),or if Mr. Wallace was being a little too competitive (or just being a bully), or a combination of both. Only thing I would correct you on with your original statement, they were not practicing full contact Karate in the above video (or in the other video with the green belt), it was supposed to be (and was for the most part) light controlled contact/point Karate, even though Bill Wallace is a retired Full Contact Karate Champion and a retired and undefeated middle weight kick boxing champion. I think the above video showed a much better sparring session than the video with the green belt where Mr. Wallace appeared to be a bully.
Actually, after Bill throws the left kick the kid could easily do a double leg takedown to shake him up. Then, throw some hard right leg kicks to Bill's front left thigh to slow him down and keep doing that and I bet he won't be so bold to come straight in. Just saying he's got weakness too.
You do realize that bill Wallace did judo and wrestling at Memphis state university. So your analysis is incorrect.! Watch the fight between Wallace and Blinky Rodriguez They fight with low kicks and Wallace beat him.
People can say all they want about Wallace and Bruce Lee but if they come back to life today or would go back to their prime they would be invincible and thsts common sense talking ,everybody with half a brain knows that ,you would have to see them fight 60 years ago go know that. I test my case.
I disagree with bill actittude, he go ligth, but when the opponent touch him head (very soft), he go hard. The opponent was very polite, however against this kind of behavior, he must ko bill wallace
Mr.Wallace didn't try to KO him out. He was hard but sparring between black belts has to has some "soul". .. Your comment is very disrespectful because Mr. Wallace is a master/pioneer/ ex world champion and the other guy takes experience from this. It's not a browling in the street...
Such low level of self esteem. Seen this in other clips too.. soon as he gets hit he goes crazy on student e.g. 1:30 It's not that the student couldn't defend, it's just the change in aggression
@@kymrobinson7986 Turning back to the opponent is a foul. It's fear of getting hit. Flinching is something only a virgin in fighting would not even recognize.
The knowledge and experience of this man, along with his heart is just awesome.

Tony X kickboxing has no king
@@harontownsend1887 Then why is there a movie called "King of Kickboxers" ? :D
@@TheCultureCommentary there is also a movie called Godzilla,
Such a legend and awesome person! Superfoot is awesome!
Only one 'fast billy'. Straight from the golden age thru to now.
Wow ! And he was 50 years old give or take .
Just awesome.
Even after he apologized he throws lightning kicks from side faster than fast
Haha those fast mid-level side/roundkicks are Superfoots version of "boxing jab". He doesnt intend those as attacks. He intends those to set up attacks, Talks a lot about that in seminaars.
I met Bill Wallace twice and he was amazing each time. I would love to meet him again

That’s just how we use to spar. We were trying to get it as close to real fighting as we could without the injury issues.
Lucky and blessed.

Wallace is still great even after retirement. Great speed and power.
Good SParrng
i wont kick hard i"m to old
he said that to me before he knocked me out
i did not

Is there another as nice an great as Bill wallace???
Bill just playing with the kid would easily destroy him LOL 😀😁😂🤣😃😄
what age is bill here like 50?
More like 45
Yeah, he was born in 1945 so he was 50 here.
Damn!!!

@@ropongi1008 I've seen youtube video of Wallace going full force on a rookie green belt who accidentally tagged him on a sparring session.

@@achieveidealweighify Bill Wallace has more than likely trained in all situations. He would be ready for a grappler also.

Confidential84 That doesn’t qualify as a definition for low self-esteem.
2:27 Bill turning his back to his opponent. He was a fancy kicker but he would have been destroyed in today's kick boxing or in a real fight.
Atti Ylänen it is light muck around sparring, nothing more
@@kymrobinson7986 Are you saying Bill Wallace turned his back to dodge a light muck?
Atti Ylänen muck around meaning that it is meaningless and empty. Something only a virgin observing would over analyse.
@@kymrobinson7986 Turning back to the opponent is a foul. It's fear of getting hit. Flinching is something only a virgin in fighting would not even recognize.
Atti Ylänen it is light sparring. Look forward to your next fight
